Just the one fact they continued to trot out - and I can’t remember if it was mentioned in the movie - that the Red Tails never lost a bomber - seemed a stretch to me. This is not in any way meant to slam the men who fought in the squadron. I just find that incredibly hard to believe.

That no lost bomber, has totally rejected by several different sources and records.
I have a friend that was tank driver in Nam, he and TC were
only survivors. He was messed up bad and still is somewhat.
I took him an article that said 27 % of armor MOS sent to Nam
were killed, by far highest death rate of any MOS.
